So the story mode doesn't allow you to jump from playing one character's story to another?
I was playing Noel yesterday and decided to jump to Taokaka's story yesterday, and today when I play Noel again I have to start from the beginning! :(

Who are you playing in BB, Turtle?

I'm looking at Bang due to his mix-ups, but he doesn't seem as quick as I wanted.

Another one I'm thinking of is Jin due to his nice mix of pressure and run-away game.

Noel cause she's easy.

Also tried a bit of Arakune but I can't seem to get him down well. I also want to try Litichi or whatever the chick with the staff is.. She looks pretty decent.

Noel's easy? She looks like she's easy to get out of control with and then get comboed hard.

Easy mode is Jin/Nu/Arakune to me.

Well from what I've played so far, she's really easy to do small combos with. The basic DCDC -> finisher (spring, follow through, or the stab). She's also quite mobile and has a nice overhead attack.

This..

And her DB combo pushes people out and away which can be nice to create some space. Also those combos do some insane dmg.

Worst of all, It's Deal of No Deal :/

Oh and Canadians, NO FRENCH IN THE BOXART! FUCK YEAHHH :D :D :D

OMGOMGOMG How do I open the package without twisting the cardboard? I hate it when you try to open it and they cut the edges a little but to ensure it DOES NOT OPEN! The very same reason I do not open my GTA4 Special Edition.

Oh and It cost me $33! I already placed $30 for preorder when I placed it. Today, I took Resident Evil 5 and some cash and when he ringed in RE5, it had a trade-in value of $40. He says "So your total is $3."

"W..W.. Wha?? NICE!" :D Sorry Capcom! I still bought Street Fighter 4 the other day as a trade-off!

Really!? Like how bad? Just sorta low tier bad, or Twelve bad?
Click to expand...
Without the clap loop combo, he's twelve bad. Slow dash/movement, short range attacks with bad recovery, no really quick safe moves to get away or punish.

With the clap loop combo, he's like SF4 Zangief with weak health, no lariat and non-meter ultra (being clap looped is akin to seeing Gief ultra you anytime he gets you within spd range). As long as the other person doesn't burst at the right time, you can get 100% guaranteed as long as you can keep the loop.

W/O Clap loop: Much, much, much worse than Tager
w/ clap loop: Middle to Upper mid tier.

About the PSN chat is it voice enabled or text only? I have a mic but not that ridiculous keyboard controller add-on. I wouldn't mind joining in on the chats to get some games going, if it's voice chat, I have no interest in buying that keyboard add-on.

Uh, you don't need to buy that keyboard add-on. Do you not have a spare keyboard?

P.S. It's text only.

I don't see how something like the clap loop affects tiers, isn't it banned from competitive play anyway?

Clap loop is one of the most retardedly broken things in the game (even worse outside of Arakune's, V-13's, and Rachel's broken ass), but damnit, Carl is one of the most brokenly crap characters in a fighting game (even worse than Twelve).

Completely wrong and misinformed. Tactics/traps are never banned from competitive play (especially not in Japan) unless they freeze the game.

The only thing in Blazblue banned by SBO staff is Rachel's glitch which literally freezes the other character in place and lets Rachel win with a 'Time Over'. Japanese readers can confirm this on SBO's home page:

Any clue where I can buy PS3 limited for its original price? It seems to be a rare item already, looking at some auctions -___-
